Chapter 1997: Intentional

At last, sweat broke out on Xi Yue’s forehead, and she was shaking all over.

Suddenly, she felt the limit holding her back gone.

The fundamental essence purified by the Circle of Life increased in density, and the pagoda fruit hanging around her neck became luscious.

Ji Mingyu was about to wipe Xi Yue’s sweat, but he suddenly stopped. His brows furrowed as a hint of doubt crossed his face.

Something about the turquoise glow and the energy around it rang a bell, but he couldn’t recall why.

Ji Mingyu reached out to Xi Yue’s collar but froze in shock.

There was nothing on her neck.

Xi Yue was also startled, looking at her empty neck. She quickly asked Little Red Bird with her consciousness. “Little Red Bird, why is my pagoda fruit missing?”

Little Red Bird looked at Ji Mingyu nervously in the void before saying carefully, “Don’t worry. The pagoda fruit has been upgraded together with the Circle of Life, so it has temporarily integrated into your heart. When the pagoda fruit appears again, you can prepare to resurrect Xi Jia and the others.”

Although Gu Liufeng and the others were too badly hurt to be brought back, she could at least try to wake Xi Jia and Qing Luan first.

Ji Mingyu gently ran his fingers across her collarbone, his tone cool and steady. “Xi’er, was something here before? What was that turquoise light earlier?”

For some reason, Ji Mingyu desperately wanted to know about the light.

Something told him that the turquoise glow held the answer to the mystery that had been on his mind for so long.

Xi Yue was momentarily stunned. She was just about to speak when there was a knock at the door. “Xi Yue, are you feeling better? I heard some noise from your courtyard just now. Can I come in?”

It was Wen Jiaquan’s voice.

Xi Yue was so shocked that she almost jumped up.

She knew Wen Jiaquan would be dropping by later. Since she was in the void, she wasn’t worried about him suddenly walking in, so she left the courtyard open and didn’t lock the door.

Xi Yuee didn’t think she’d be in the void that long, let alone have Ji Mingyu appear in her room.

If Wen Jiaquan saw them, it’d be impossible to clear things up.

Just at this moment, Wen Jiaquan found that the door was unlocked and was about to push it in. The wooden door still made a squeaking sound.

Xi Yue grabbed Ji Mingyu and dragged him behind the screen. She lowered her voice and snapped, “You did this on purpose, didn’t you?”

She was just breaking through, so she couldn’t hear the noise outside or notice Wen Jiaquan approaching.

But how could Ji Mingyu not notice?

This bastard did it on purpose!

His gaze locked onto hers, unwavering. He spoke in a low, resolute voice, “I’ll let everyone know you’re mine, Xi Yue. Besides, do I look like someone who needs to hide?”

How many people in the entire Siam Continent and even the God Domain would want to marry him?

Xi Yue was so mad she wanted to kick him, but Wen Jiaquan had already stepped inside. She quickly hissed, “Don’t you dare come out or make a sound, got it? Or else… or else I’ll–!”

She was all ready to threaten him, but to her dismay, Xi Yue realized there wasn’t a damn thing she could actually do to Ji Mingyu.

He was so powerful that brute force alone could shatter any clever tactic. Against someone like that, any move she made would just end with her getting wrecked.
